A screen a story – The Contact Information National language version

May 2, 2023 by Rudi van Helvoirt Leave a Comment

Recently Scott Forstie created an SQL script allowing you to create a procedure with which it is a piece of cake to review the special instruction PTFs. What the link is between the contact information and the PTF cover letters is something I will explain later on. Please allow me to focus on the special […]

Environment Variables

May 2, 2023 by Andy Youens Leave a Comment

The IBM i operating system is highly dependent on environmental variables, which can have a significant impact on its performance. In this article, we will dive into the various environmental variables and their effects on the IBM i. What are environment variables? Let me start at the beginning, what are environment variables? Environment variables allow […]

A Note from the Chairman

May 1, 2023 by Mike Ryan Leave a Comment

Well, if we thought that 2022 was a whirlwind – that saw much of business come back together and saw i-UG really step up to the mark in trying to keep the information flowing – then 2023 is going to need a whole new weather warning! 2022 was a great year. We had some great […]

A screen a story – The Run SQL Scripts bottom bar

April 3, 2023 by Rudi van Helvoirt Leave a Comment

If IBM is following the same schedule as it has in previous years it is fair to say that a new version of IBM i Access Client Solution (ACS) is waiting just around the corner. In the past April was the month in which a new ACS version was released as a part of a […]

DB2 for i Multisystem

April 3, 2023 by Andy Youens 2 Comments

In this article I will be taking a look at a feature we should all be installing, and using, on our IBM i servers. As I mentioned in a recent article I wrote on the advance job scheduler (which can be found here), IBM announced in May 2022 that half a dozen previously chargeable licensed […]

A screen a story – What does “move active records” mean?

March 7, 2023 by Rudi van Helvoirt 1 Comment

The latest Technology Refresh (TR) for IBM i 7.4 and 7.5 has something new within them for reorganizing a file. If you have lost count of the TR levels IBM i 7.4 is at TR7 and IBM i 7.5 is at TR1. Every time a new TR is announced it can be overwhelming with the […]

Node-RED & Security

March 6, 2023 by Andy Youens 1 Comment

I gave a quick demonstration of Node-RED to a client recently and I didn’t get the response I was expecting. On bringing up the Node-RED browser interface, the first question I got asked was why doesn’t Node-RED use a TLS (Transport Layer Security), or SSL (Secure Socket Layer), connection to the server. Great question, I’m […]

Node-RED & Bank Holidays

February 7, 2023 by Andy Youens Leave a Comment

In a recent training course I gave to a UK bank, we were covering web-services and I showed how we can get information from a reliable source and then store it in our database.  They informed me that they still manually input UK Bank Holidays into a table.  This was a task that they had […]

A screen a story – What does this button do? Part II

January 10, 2023 by Rudi van Helvoirt Leave a Comment

In my last article A screen a story – What does this button do? The SQL button was used to retrieve SQL statements which I then tweaked to get the job done. The purpose of it all was to build an SQL script to automate changing the object owner of a printer, object type *DEVD. […]

Node-RED & IBM i

January 3, 2023 by Andy Youens 2 Comments

In my last article I wrote about the hoops we had to jump through to get the DB2 for i Node-RED adapter installed. In this article, we will be taking a look at how we use that adapter and also how we can run IBM i commands from within our Node-RED flows.  All very useful. […]
